DEAL IS DEAD!!!
right now, anyway. If you got in on it, congrats! Nice little board super cheap. If not, check again later....you never know about Newegg and their restocking!
Newegg has an ultra-cheap Socket 754 motherboard if you're trying to resurrect an old AMD-based computer on the cheap.
Link to Newegg's site for the motherboard....$18.99 shipped.....limit 2.
It's a Biostar NF325-A7 Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce3 250 motherboard. It's an open box item, meaning the chances are good you won't get anything other than the motherboard. Of course, what came with it new was pretty sparse anyway, so you'll not miss much. (Driver CD, floppy cable, one IDE cable, rear I/O plate, and manual.)
All relevant drivers for the motherboard (sound, chipset, RAID, etc.) are easily downloaded from Biostar's website. The replacements for the ribbon floppy and IDE cable that it came with are probably lying around in a drawer of yours right now, gathering dust. (It didn't even come with a SATA cable....sheesh!!) The only thing that's semi-nice that'll probably go missing is the rear I/O plate, but with some creative Dremel work, you can convert an old I/O plate to fit fairly well. The manual is on Biostar's website, too, in .pdf form.
The board is AGP based (4x/8x), single-channel RAM w/two slots...DDR based (max. capacity is 2GB), 5 PCI slots, on-board 5.1 sound, 2 IDE ports, 2 SATA ports and even supports SATA RAID 0,1. It has 8 USB 2.0 ports....4 rear and 4 front ports.
Supported processors are Athlon 64 up to 3700+ and Sempron cpu's up to 3100+....don't think it supports dual-cores, though.
Link to Biostar's website for complete specs.
Just thought someone might need something like this to get an old socket 754 computer back up and running.
